Borrowing Fates (借仙借运)

Borrowing fates is not some Chinese specific rituals meant
to temporarily boost a person’s luck. Of course, the Chinese may be more
detailed than others. Basically, there are two types of borrowing fate rituals:
the first is the life foundation (生基) and the second is what the
insiders call ‘borrowing fairies’ (借仙). When correctly done, with a good
life foundation, a person can enjoy about 40 years of ‘new luck’. The problem
is that with current rapid developments, it is exceedingly difficult to find a
good place which would not be disturbed for 40 years.

In view of this, some sorcerers devised a ritual called ‘small
foundation’ (小生基). Instead of
finding an actual auspicious location in mountain ranges, people’s personal
effects are buried into an incense burner and this incense burner is put in the
sorcerer’s altar. When incenses are burnt on the incense burner every day, then
it is believed that the person’s luck would change as he indirectly absorbs the
energy from those incense. Having said so, whatever this person absorbed would only
be the contaminated chi of that particular altar.

Yet another type of fate borrowing ritual is known as ‘borrowing
fairies’. This borrowing fairies’ ritual is similar to the Indonesian version
of ‘khodam’ (servitor spirits). This practice is almost similar to spirit possession
except that so-called ‘helpful’ spirits are consciously made to attach to a
person; normally an artist to boost his/her luck in entertainment world
generally speaking. I have seen similar service being offered in the West where
jinn are bound to a person for almost anything; from luck to bravery etc.

This type of practices was once popular in Hong Kong around
80’s to 90’s. Of course, borrowing fairies is not a fool proved system. A
so-called fairy is an entity of free will, when it is summoned to possess a
person; it will change the personality of the host or causes the host to have a
split personality. I have not done this type of ritual, but according to my
Taoist master that there are many side effects.

Once, a lesser known actress known as Shirley came to my
master to ask for borrowing fairy ritual to boost her luck. Shirley already had
a fiancé at that time but after the fairy which was a fox spirit possessed
Shirley, her character changed completely from a shy and conservative lady to
an open minded and sexy woman. This abrupt change gave Shirley a temporal fame
and a small fortune but she broke off with her fiancé for some seemingly trivial
reasons.

When enquired, Shirley said that the fox spirit didn’t like
her fiancé and it wanted Shirley to break off from the man. According to
Shirley, her pet dogs would die very often for unknown reasons too just because
the fox spirit hated dogs. Further, when Shirley’s young niece came for a short
visit; black and green spots would appear on the little girl’s body as if being
pinched by someone. Because of this issue, Shirley’s sister thought Shirley was
abusing her child and they had a big fight.

Knowing her conditions were getting worse and that Shirley’s
luck wasn’t anywhere better than before after a while, Shirley wanted her old
life back. She finally revisited my master to request for the removal of the
fox spirit. According to Shirley, it took her three attempts just to step into
my master’s temple. She had car accidents during her first two attempts to
visit my master. And it took 5 people to drag and push Shirley into the temple.

Luckily, the fox spirit was finally coaxed out from Shirley’s
body and then it was then imprisoned in an earth urn for good. It is actually
not easy to exorcise this type of spirits as they can read the mind of their
hosts which made the detection of their presence difficult; and it is also
especially hard to secure a person with split personality. The reason is that a
lady who is seeking help could suddenly shout out as if being molested; then it
would be a big problem with the master. This is the reason why I would shy away
from treating spirit possession issues. My take is that it is better safe than
sorry.

On the other hand, the Khodams invoked through specific
rituals such as Tenaga Dalam etc. has the similar aspect as above The most
notable effect is that the person would get angry very quickly sometimes
unprovoked. If anyone who is practising jinn conjurations or khodam magic, and
he/she finds difficult to control his/her emotions; then it is time to stop the
practices and seek help.
